Masa grew up with Persian and Egyptian dance. Over more than twenty years of teaching adults and children, and as a faculty member at UCLA, she has performed and competed internationally. It is teaching that has always been her true calling, watching this dance move through other bodies, open other hearts, free other minds.

Masa has trained with internationally renowned masters including Raqia Hassan, Amir Thaleb, Soraya Zaed, Mohammad Kazafy, Tito, Dina, and percussionists Gamal Gomaa and Karim Nagi. She is a certified yoga instructor at Inner Power Yoga and brings a deep contemplative practice to her teaching. Rooted is a fully inclusive offering, open to all genders and all bodies.
